A Todd Rundgren Fix! Some New, Some Old.
Just because I can’t get enough of Todd Rundgren, and these sort of represent my frenetic mood lately with job hunting and everything…
This song is called “In My Mouth” From the new album titled “State”. Bob and I cant get enough of this one. It seems to be stuck on infinite loop in my head:
This song is called “The Wheel”. This was done in the 70’s with Todd’s band Utopia. I just like the lyric:
Some people say life’s like a merry-go-round
I think it’s more like a ferris wheel
’cause sometimes you’re up, sometimes you’re down
Sometimes you just don’t know what to feel
And just when you think you’ve got the game figured out
And you say you’ve had enough
The mysterious mad man with his hand on the lever
Don’t seem to never ever want to let you off
You can’t get off this wheel of karma
You can’t stop the hands of time
I tell ya folks, the swings of mood and spirit right now are killing me, DAILY. My friends, I ask you to please just tolerate me. I’m worse than a woman on menopause right now, and it is showing no signs of stopping…. AND I HATE IT!

Fix Your Own Damned Computer!!!
I’ve been cleaning up people’s PCs’ during the last few days. I thought I would share some of the secret handy sites (courtesy of Bitchin Bob):

Windows Live Sysinternals
My favorite app here is autoruns. It shows you all the stuff that runs in the background on your computer and gives you the ability to disable it or delete it. There are many other nifty apps here too (like process explorer).

McDiplomacy
I believe if we bombard the North with McNuggets we can avert a war.
Photoshop?
This MUST be real: I saw it on the Internet.
Yet Another Stupid Job Posting Buzzword
Folks, the list grows daily. Put this up there with great job listing terms like “ability to self municate”.
The listing du jour follows:
“Master storytellerable to craft a master narrative cohering an entire curriculum; able to write stories that relate the unknown to the known; able to create immersive, narrative-driven, learning experiences that expose learners to new beliefs or reframe current beliefs that drive effective behaviors; able to simplify and rationalize the complex and irrational.”
What the hell is “Master storytellerable”?? I’m serious folks. This was in a job requirement. This sounds like they want you to create some sort of Romulan brain torture device. REEEEEDICULOUS!!!
A possible rewrite would be:
“Able to change republicans to democrats and straights to gays. Able to see into the future without a crystal ball and be held accountable for this. Make lazy people energized with stuff that makes them lazy in the first place. Change Christians into Atheists at the wave of a wand. (and lets not forget) Spoon feed the lazy and the rich.”
I am now going to crawl into bed and cry!
Mr. Rogers Has a Message for You!
It just makes you wonder if he was laughing inside when he did this…
If I Do Myself In…
Play this at my funeral… Somehow, every time I’m drunk or silly… this song appears in my head.
Can’t explain it…
And then if you think you get it, follow it up with this one…
Then try to figure out why the hell you are looking at this blog in the first place.
(Thank you Liz for the introduction to the second track here)….
